Abstract

This paper reports the adsorption of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) onto Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) processed Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) surfaces by a Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) technique. The purpose is to study the influence of DBD processing on the nature and scale of BSA adsorption on PMMA surface in vitro. It was observed that DBD processing improves the surface wettability of PMMA film, a fact attributable to the changes in surface chemistry and topography. Exposure of the PMMA to Phosphate Buffed Saline (PBS) solution in the QCM-D systemresulted in surface adsorption which reaches an equilibrium after about 30 minutes for pristine PMMA, and 90 minutes for processed PMMA surface. Subsequent injection of BSA in PBS indicated that the protein is immediately adsorbed onto the PMMA surface. It was revealed that adsorption behaviour of BSA on pristine PMMA differs from that on processed PMMA surface. A slower adsorption kinetics was observed for pristine PMMA surface, whilst a quick adsorption kinetics for processed PMMA. Moreover, the dissipation shift of protein adsorption suggested that BSA forms a more rigid structure on pristine PMMA surface that on processed surface. These data suggest that changes in wettability and attendant chemical properties and surface texture of the PMMA surface may play a significant role in BSA adsorption process.Keywords: in vitro test, protein adsorption, surface modification, polymethylmethacrylate, QCM-DCopyright © 2008, Jilin University.
